Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Kings Hawaiian rolls
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg, beaten
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Fruit Ingredient:
- 1/4 cup (40 grams) pineapple chunks
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350F, creating an ideal baking environment for the danish.
- Carefully slice each Hawaiian roll horizontally, creating a soft base for the cheesecake filling.
- Whip the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky texture.
- Generously spread the cream cheese blend across the roll halves, covering each surface evenly.
- Distribute fresh pineapple chunks strategically over the cream cheese layer for bursts of tropical flavor.
- Gently brush the exposed roll surfaces with beaten egg, promoting a rich, golden-brown exterior during baking.
- Transfer the prepared dish to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, watching for a bubbly, golden-brown finish.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, letting the flavors meld and the texture set before serving.
Notes
- Gently slice rolls to prevent tearing, maintaining their soft, pillowy texture for the best base.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free filling that spreads easily.
- Experiment with different fruit toppings like strawberries or blueberries to customize the danish for various flavor preferences.
- For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and substitute some powdered sugar with a sugar alternative to make the dish more diet-friendly.
